woke: midsommar is a horrifying movie about a manipulative cult
bespoke: midsommar is a litmus test to tell how easily you could be indoctrinated into a cult and if your first thought after watching it is that it was a girl power movie you’re very susceptible to cult tactics and you should be aware of that

Look, I’ve talked about how deranged the show Raised By Wolves is before but
it’s about two androids trying to raise kids on an alien planet after Earth was destroyed in an apocalyptic war between atheist antifas and a weird cult of Mormons who worship the sun. The mom android is an invincible death goddess who can fly by t-posing, and the dad is just a regular android. Neither of them are aware of this. One of the kids falls in a giant hole and the rest (except one) all die from eating radioactive yams. A ship full of Mormons shows up and RoboDad goes “great, more kids for our boy to play with!” but RoboMom stabs him to death with a dinosaur skeleton, kills a bunch Mormon soldiers by screaming at them so hard they explode, steals some of their kids and crashes the spaceship, killing almost all that’s left of humanity.
This all takes place in the first episode.
here are some other Things That Happen:
RoboMom brings RoboDad back to life and he’s just like “…okay”
The surviving Mormons find a giant stone d12 in the desert that sets a dude on fire
One of them is a secret atheist who stole a spot on the space ark by getting plastic surgery and he starts hearing voices and for some reason decides it must be god and becomes their prophet
They defeat RoboMom by stealing her eyeballs (which makes her not have superpowers for some reason)
Some guys get mad at Fake Mormon so they force-feed him the eyeballs but this gives him super strength
RoboMom has VR sex with a simulation of the dead guy who sent her here, gets pregnant somehow and gives birth to a gigantic flying snake monster
She plans to kill it but then it turns out it just eats pumpkins
Fake Mormon’s atheist ex-girlfriend starts also believing in god after a dream shows her how to use leeches to cure her son from a bioweapon but then she gets turned into a tree and the snake monster eats the tree and becomes an even scarier snake monster
A girl gives birth and her baby is immediately stolen by a fish monster
RoboDad finds a thousand-year-old android in a cave and brings her back to life by pouring android blood on her
She traps RoboMom in a body condom and starts forcibly evolving the children into fish people
This show is like LOST but on a planetary scale, it can’t seem to decide what it’s actually about and every time the weird shit gets an explanation it only raises more questions.
Went through the search histories for “asexual” of some urls on a lgbtqia disccourse post, as I do, and saw a person go from supportive of ace people to hating them as the disccourse ramped up. I don’t think people realize how common this is. A few years back there was this massive furor over the person who ran the fuckh8 company being an aphobe, and now “x is an aphobe” is a joke on this site. It used to be trendy to think ace people were valid, now it’s trendy to think they’re homophobic special snowflakes. It’s so clearly not motivated by any kind of logic or conviction. It’s just people have gotten the green light to shit on a group they didn’t care about to begin with (but had to pretend like they did because of social pressure). And so they’re going for it. It makes me so sad and scared.
Honestly as a bi trans person I have lived through years-hell, over a decade-of biphobia and biphobic ‘discourse’, and being treated like shit for being trans by cis people in the community, and still experience that shit all the time, and am constantly gaslighted that it ‘never happened and never happens’, and saying it did and does is ‘homophobic’ and makes me ‘scum who should die’.
I see this ace discourse and wonder how many are pretending to be bi and trans friendly because it’s become a trend to fake acceptance of us. It scares the shit out of me. I don’t know who to trust anymore. If people will turn on ace folk this quickly, how can I trust their ‘support’ of any other group?
They’ve made it clear their ‘acceptance’ to me is conditional already by saying I have to reject ace people-which would include my life partner-to be ‘accepted’ as part of the community, or to even interact with it at all. I don’t want to lose all of my (very) little remaining hope in humanity but my own ‘community’ is pushing me toward that.
